Discussion Questions

Before the Game

I have a pie and I want to share it with myself and 3 friends, how many pieces do I need to slice my pie into? Two more friends showed up unexpectedly, how many slices do I need now?

After the Game

Does the size of each unit increase or decrease as you create more units? In other words, will my slice be bigger or smaller the more slices I cut? What did you notice about the number of times you had to "slice" the pieces in relation to the number of customers sharing it?
